No, this 8-K filing does not contain new financial statements or audited results in the traditional sense. It primarily furnishes presentation materials that discuss the first quarter 2011 earnings, and the information within is explicitly stated not to be 'filed' under certain sections of securities laws.
When information is 'furnished' under Regulation FD, it means the company is making it available to investors but it is not subject to the same level of regulatory scrutiny or liability as information that is 'filed' under certain sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (like Section 18). This designation limits the company's legal exposure regarding that specific information.
